These sources close to the Depp/Heard camp (yes, new sources) say Betty Sue Palmer was in and out of the hospital for months, and on many occasions Amber went to her bedside at the hospital when Johnny wasn’t there, because she managed the schedules of the nurses Johnny hired.

Amber sources say Johnny was indeed absent from his mom’s life during their marriage, but it wasn’t HER doing, specifically. They say it was Johnny’s choice not to see her, for whatever reason.

In addition, Amber does not believe any members of Johnny’s family hated her at all- and that she’s got some pics snuggling with Johnny’s son, Jack. Snuggling! I dunno, like a young stepmom does?
